Good: front lip
Bad: everything else. The rear spoiler is almost OK, but not the hatch, "gills" or hood. especially the hood. ick. mirrors are gross too. Why put so many sharp angles on a smooth design? It just don't work.

I agree, if I had the choice I'd take the front lip only. As for the mirrors, spoiler and door handles as well, nothing beats the ones from the 968. My 2 cents...

It looks like a Frenchman watched that bad movie "Corvette Summer" and patterned his Porsche body kit after the car in that movie. The front lip is nice, though.....

Thats one of the many Strosek copies i guess. The kit wich was originally made by Strosek included the 'cateyes' also.

Spoiler and mirrors are worthwhile to me, but then again the 968 mirros are dead sexy on our cars, so there is not too much of a need to go above and beyond them.... except if you read the article in the latest excellence about the effect the mirrors had on top speed....

Random ramblings this a.m.

I really like the front lip and have mix feelings about the rear hatch. Would probably consider it if it was lighter than the glass unit... but a 968 RS wing would look better... Mirrors? Nothing like the 968 tear drops.

The only body kit I'd consider for a 951 is the wide body kit - it retains the classic lines while giving extra room for REALLY wide rubber. I like the 968 mirrors better as well - but then again I'm kinda biased!
